Brooke Vincent is Dancing On Ice's first celebrity skater

Brooke Vincent has been confirmed as the first celebrity to compete in Dancing on Ice 2018. Brooke will meet her professional skating partner in the coming days before embarking on training ahead of the new series, which returns to ITV in the New Year.

The 12 celebrities will be skating to impress the ice panel, consisting of skating legends Torvill and Dean, show favourite Jason Gardiner and one remaining judge, as well as the viewers at home.

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby return to host the show.

Brooke said “I love a challenge. Ice skating - what an amazing skill. Next year I can go with the girls and be like 'I can do this, I can do that' and they'll be holding onto the sides. I've been trying to lose a few pounds to get in them leotards. I started my ice training on Saturday. If I get injured at least I'll look sparkly on the way to the hospital!"
